Saturday, November 15, 2025, is the cut-off date to make corrections to undisputed records and to remove any previous requests for delay in publication in order for those changes to be reflected in the January 2026 Open Payments data refresh.
Corrections to records in response to active disputes can be made through December 31, 2025, to be included in the January data refresh. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will publish a refresh of the Open Payments data in January 2026.
Here is how the data will be displayed publicly in January 2026:
- Changes to non-disputed records made on or before November 15, 2025, will be published.
- Records with any active disputes that remain unresolved as of December 31, 2025, will display as disputed.
- Records deleted before December 31, 2025, will be removed from publication.
- Records deleted after December 31, 2025, will NOT be removed from publication until the next data publication in June 2026.
- Records that were disputed and resolved as of December 31, 2025, will display the updated information and will not be marked as disputed.
The following will NOT be published in the January 2026 data refresh:
- Any disputed records for which the dispute resolution resulted in a change to the covered recipient’s identifying information.
- Any records submitted to the Open Payments system for the first time after the close of the Program Year 2024 submission window (March 31, 2025). These records will be published in a future data publication.
Additional information can be found on the Reporting Entity Dispute and Correction page on the Open Payments website. For assistance with other aspects of the Open Payments system, please visit the Resources page on the Open Payments website.
